CASE STUDY

As the tallest buildings in El Segundo with a campus-like setting, Colour Studio’s objective was to leverage the existing architecture and scale of the site to maximize PCT’s brand and identity.

1. Site Analysis

Colour Studio’s analysis of the site took into account the projects proximity to the coast, the height of the three towers , the sky as a prominent backdrop and given material elements, such as glazing that varied from dark and opaque to reflective in greys tending toward the blue/green side and the dominant grid of window mullions.

2. Palette Development

Colour Studio’s objective with the color design was to move the eye across the campus buildings using dark to light color variations, effectively breaking down the scale and repetition of the glazing using a random application of controlled color.

3. Color Renderings

Colour Studio relies on an iterative process to study a multitude of color placements using Photoshop and large format printers that yield highly accurate color renderings before presenting our Clients with the best options.
